Think of it as a second chance.

It could be a friend, a business associate, even a beloved sibling or spouse. They are special to you. But they didn't go to Baylor.

They love the green and gold. They cheer the Bears to victory. They even accompany you on trips to Waco for Homecoming. They believe in the university and what she stands for. They show commitment and care for Baylor they but with no official ties to the university, still feel like outsiders looking in.

You can change all that.

If selected, the Baylor Alumni Network will designate these devoted Baylor fans as "Alumni by Choice" honor them at a luncheon, and present them with official "Alumni by Choice" diplomas.

The program began in 1986. Awards are given at an annual ceremony.

Our next event will be February 28, 2015. Deadline for nominations is December 1, 2014.
